Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatchl
PETERSBURG, September 81, 1887.
A fight occurred this afternoon in
Jack Browns clearinghouse, on Old
street, between two negroes named
Cooley Dennis and Edward Walker, in
which the former was shot and quite
painfully injured in the arm by the lat
ter, who claims that he acted in self
defence. Walker keeps the bar in
Browns house. When Dennis came
into the room he was told that he was
in debt for drink. This was denied,
and quarrel ensued. Dennis is re-
ported to have seized Ratchet and to
have threatened Walker-even TO have
aimed blow at him with it. Walker
then drew his pistol and fired at Den
mis-. The ball entered the arm between
the wrist and elbow, and, passing up,
lodged in the flesh near the shoulder,
from whence it was extracted. Both
parties were arrested and bailed to an
swer in court. tsk8
The monthly term Of the County
Court of Surry will be held this week,
when it is understood special grand
jury will be sworn to investigate the
recent lynching Of the negro Cole, who
was taken from the Jail by masked men
and hanged fer the crime of assault. 1t
is not believed that the most rigid in
vestigation by the grand jury will lead
to any developments that will justify
indictments against any parties.
Peter Hawkins (colored), while en-
gagged in moving some heavy machinery
to-day, had both of his feet badly crush
ed by the fall Of q piece of the ma
cbinery upon him. His injuries are of
such character that one or both of his
feet will probably have to be ampu-
tated.
Rev. r. r. AGREE, of Lynchburg,
the pastor-elect of the First Baptist
church in this city, is in the city to-
day looking after residence. He will
move here early in October.
Rev. DR.. G. j. Gibson and wife, who
have been absent during the summer,
are expected home this week. Both of
them have very much improved in
health.
THE FROST AND THE TOBACCO.
information obtained from planters
and merchants is to the effect that the
outstanding tobacco in this section was
not so badly injured by the recent
frosts as was at first feared. The frost
was severe enough to kill the potato
vines and other tender vegetation, but
the damage to the tobacco was only no.
ticeable on the fairgrounds. Most of
the early and best quality of tobacco
in this section had been cut before the
frost and safely housed. But good
deal OF the crop was late. 1t is believed
that, though fully one third of the
crop was in the field, the damage will
be light. The planters have been cut
ting with all their might since last Sat
urday.
A well-known planter who was in
the city yesterday said that he had
never but once known the tobacco to
be killed in this section by a Septem-
Der frost. In 1847 the crop was killed.
A damaging frost is not generally ex-
pected here before the 9th or Sth of
October. ROBIN ADAIR.

DehorninC Cattle.

AS to dehorning cattle many opinions
are given. Some few breeders think the
practice will injure the prepotency of
dairy bulls. Others think dairy cows are
so mild and gentle that they will do no
injury with their horns. Others cannot
bring themselves to think that hornless
Jersey will look like Jersey. The ma
jority of breeders seem to agree that the
horn is nothing but weapon, of no use
to an animal placed ont Of the reach of
fighting, as all dairy cows should be-
They would be ready to dehorn their cat
tie if it could be SO arranged that all
breeders would do it. The best time to
destroy the horn, says Rural New Yorker,
is while the animal is calf. The opera
ton is then no more painful than that of
castration. Five years ago breeders would
not think Of such thing as saving the
horns off their cows; now they are quite
ready to admit that the horns are useless
and could be readily and easily disposed
of. The question is, where will the horns
be in five years more at this rate of pro.
gression?

Mr.. BOnham, secretary of the Ohio
state board Of agriculture, is practical
farmer and stock breeder, pork making
being one of his specialties. To make
pork profitably Mr.. Bonham grows large
qualities of corn to be fed with other
food. His corn fields contain twenty five
acres each and are no rods long and
about third that width. The corn is
planted in check rows so it can be cult
waited both ways. To illustrate the diff
ference in cost Of cultivating large and
small fields Mr.. 4. B. Terry, who recently
visited Mr.. BOnham, tells in TIL. Country
Gentleman that one Of these twenty five
acre fields can be cultivated the long way
in three days, while the cross cultivation
the short way takes four and half days.
The New England Farmer, commenting
on the above, says: "In 1885 the cost of
the corn in the crib exclusive Of land rent,
was $500 per acre. or nine cents per
bushel. Including the rent Of land the
cost would be about $13 per acre. And
this is the same whether the crop be
large or small. If 100 bushels are pro-
duced per acre the cost per bushel would
consequently be only thirteen cents, while
a crop of fifty bushels would cost twenty
six cents per bushel. The average yield
through the country being only twenty
six bushels the cost must he about fifty
cents per bushel, Large fields and long
rows will do much to reduce the cost of
this crop"

HOW AND WHEN TO PROPAGATE
PLANTS DY LAYERS.

The Importance Of Long Rows In Field
Cuiture-An About Plant Lice, Will,
Directions for Their DETERMINATION by
the Entomologist, Professor Cook.
Perhaps no family of insects is more
widely distributed or more generally de-
structive and better known than plant
lice. These pests do not content them
selves with any single part Of plant.
Some work on the roots and sap the vital
ity Of the herb or tree; Others draw their
nourishment from the stems and twigs
and thus blight the plants; still others
suck the vitality from bud and foliage. A
few work on both roots and leaves. Most
cultivated vegetables, grains and trees
have their characteristic plant louise enc
mics.
The first cut represents winged and
wingless lice Of natural size, also mag
niiled.
Plant lice on outside vegetation pass
the winter as little, dark, oblong eggs,
usually fastened to the buds. With the
warm days Of spring these eggs hatch,
and so rapidly do the lice increase that
soon they are counted by millions. Anoth-
er characteristic feature of plant lice is
their sudden disappearance. This well
come radiance is due, Professor A. j.
Cook, entomologist of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college, states, to insect enemies
of the plant lice.

Various methods are employed to pro-
,luce this result, such as ringing, girding,
twisting, tonguing or partly dividing that
portion Of the stem or branch on which 1t
is desired the roots shall be formed. All
these distortions of the stems or branches
of the plant layered are for one object
that is, to check the downward flow of
sap. Roots then become necessary for
supplying sustenance to the cutting, or
layer, and are consequently formed. The
most common method of preparing layers
Is that of making tongue on the under
side of the branch. The operation is per-
formed. thus: Make an incsion in the
branch or part Of the plant to be layered,
just below bud, cutting through the
bark and into the branch to the depth of
One-quarter to one half its diameter; then
pass the knife upward for an inch or
more, according to the size and nature of
the plant being layered, splitting the
branch lengthwise, forming the tongue as
shown in figure |. at a. The branch is
then bent down and fastened in its place
by means of a hooked peg, c, and the end
tied up to a stake, b, as shown in figure l.
That part on which the incision is made is
covered with soil or other material that
will exclude it from light and air, while
at the same time keeping it moist, thus
aiding the development Of roots. In max

A company was chartered by the Secre.
tary of State on Thursday of last week tor
the purpose of boring for natural gas in
Mendoza. The depth at which gas is found
in Indiana Is less than 1000 feet. No one
in this region to our knowledge has yet
dug hole that depth, though the Gale,
donna shaft was sunk to a depth of 500 feet
If some enterprising geologist with lib
eral bank account should drop a drill to
the bottom of that now abandoned shaft
and bore down another 500 feet, he might
strike gas before the Mendoza concern did.
Five hundred feet is a good start when
600 feet is total distance.-La sale Re

In recent circular from Commissioner
Henderson, of Georgia, ii is made apparent
that in the partial failures of the peach
crop the particular orchards or trees that
escape the effects Of frost are generally
the same in each recurrence of such fail
ure, and it Ia further stated that peach
orchards having this immunity from frosts
are found here and there throughout the
state, In order to call more general at
tention to this question and to learn from
the observations of persons in all parts of
the state the cause of these partial ex-
emptions, inquiries were made of the cor
respondents Of the department, These
answers are Of interest wherever the
peach is cultivated, and are here given in
substance:
In the answers received nearly all agree
in stating that the fruit least injured is on
the high grounds The direction of the
slope of the HILL while it may affect the
time of blooming, is factor Of little i'm
portance compared with that of its atti-
tude above the surrounding country. The
typographical positions that prove best for
the certainty of the crop are as follows:
l. Mountain Sides from the base to the
altitude of 500 feet, regardless of the di-
rection of slope. 2. Narrow valleys and
coves sheltered by high mountains. 3.
Narrow areas skirting the base of high
mountains on all sides 4. Ridges or hills
and escapements of table lands 100 to 500
feet above adjacent valleys. 5. Borders
Of large streams and lakes. Even in south
Georgia, where the country is generally
level, the exemption of the higher portions
OF slopes adjacent to river valleys is quite
common, and has its application not only
to the peach crop, but to all fruits and
vegetables subject to injury from late
spring frOStS.

Some horses have habit, when fright
ened by strange objects which they meet
upon the road, Of turning around so alb
ruptly as to endanger the occupants of
the carriage if a four wheeled vehicle
Colts, when first harnessed, if driven to
certain point and turned around often
insist upon repeating the trick every time
they reach that particular spot. They
generally turn in the same direction every
time. The simplest remedy That we have
ever heard for breaking mp this habit is to
take light, strong bamboo fishpole, fas-
ten the small end to the ring of the bit
upon the side toward which the animal is
accustomed to turn. Bring the other end
of the pole back into the carriage. When
the youngster attempts the turning feat,
push upon the pole with sufficient force
to prevent his carrying ont his purpose
This may not work in all cases where the
animal is fully grown, and has been ad-
dicted to the habit for long time, but II
will break up the habit in the majority of
eases when taken in seasou.-American
